Saturday, May 30
Valuev Chagaev odds (3:00 PM ET) kick off the action in Finland, but boxing betting players will have their hands full as both fighters are evenly rated in this rematch for the WBA heavyweight title. Berto Urango odds (10:15 PM ET) are backing Andre Berto to retain the WBC welterweight title in Florida against the power of Juan Urango.
Cavs Magic odds (8:30 PM ET) are favoring Orlando to end Cleveland’s season, but league MVP LeBron James may have something to say about that.
Stanley Cup betting hits the ice in Detroit with Penguins Red Wings odds (8:00 PM ET), and the defending champions are favored at -160 to take Game 1 of this rematch from last season.
Red Sox vs Blue Jays odds (1:07 PM ET) will see Boston’s Brad Penny taking on Brian Tallet, who will try to help the Jays break out of their slump. Dodgers vs Cubs odds (4:10 PM ET) features Los Angeles’ Eric Stults, who is returning from an injury, against Chicago’s Ryan Dempster.
Sunday, May 31
There may be some Game 7 action on the hardwood if Denver can hold serve at home in Game 6 on Friday, but if they make it to Los Angeles on Sunday for the deciding game, Lakers odds (8:30 PM ET) will definitely favor the home team at Staples Center.
NASCAR betting players can wrap up a busy weekend by going through their Dover odds for Sunday’s Sprint Cup race, the Autism Speaks 400 (2:00 PM ET). Kyle Busch is the defending race-winner in this event.
Game 2 of the Stanley Cup goes on Sunday (time TBA), and it’ll be interesting to see how the teams handle playing on back-to-back days, which is very rare in the playoffs.
A pair of young lefties will take the spotlight in Toronto (1:07 PM ET) when Boston’s Jon Lester meets the Blue Jays’ Ricky Romero. Dodgers vs Cubs odds (8:05 PM ET) end the weekend betting with a nationally-televised encounter, as Los Angeles’ Eric Milton faces Chicago’s Sean Marshall.
